The current situation in my hometown of Aceh Tamiang, Aceh, Indonesia, is truly sad for me.

Hello everyone.

Today I have some very important information and a story to share😭. I just saw a picture this afternoon about the flood conditions in Aceh, my beloved Indonesia, namely Aceh Tamiang. My beloved Aceh, my beloved hometown, I am very sad to see the condition of my birthplace.

I was really sad today when I saw pictures (sourced from the Acehnese media💦) this afternoon. Look at my beloved village, Look at the Aceh Tamiang area, it looks so bad, even the housing in the village is only a few houses left, the few remaining houses in the village are definitely 80% damaged, and the house items can no longer be used.

This is Aceh Tamiang. The flooding in Aceh Tamiang, Indonesia, was so severe. National roads are still cut off, people are starving, even without clothes, and people are still covered in mud.

Yesterday, celebrity Najwa Shihab arrived, and she was speechless at the dire situation in Aceh Tamiang. Aid for flood-affected residents and communities was delivered by air via helicopter.

The Starlink network from the assistance, can only be accessed from 3:00 PM to 2:00 AM, very short.

National road access has been completely paralyzed to date, and internet and other networks have been down for two weeks in the Aceh Tamiang region. Every night, people scream for help as they are trapped by the floodwaters. Unfortunately, it's futile and impossible to help. They surrender and endure day after day on rooftops.

Even in the Aceh Tamiang region, the stench of corpses is still very strong. The flooding in Aceh Tamiang has gone viral on social media, with corpses even lying in the streets. Our residents can't hold back their tears. Aceh Tamiang and the rest of Aceh have surrendered to the Almighty.

Yesterday the Aceh Tamiang refugee group received assistance, so we are all very grateful to be here.

Luckily, I received help very quickly to escape to higher ground, such as the mountains and hills, although we are currently living in tents in several groups. This afternoon, after I saw images from (Acehnese media) of the conditions in Aceh Tamiang, Indonesia, my heart was broken and saddened. Especially when I reminded my family how devastated and sad I was.

Yesterday afternoon, the evacuation shelters (Tent House) in Block A, Aceh Tamiang, received some aid. This aid was delivered by helicopter. We, the various groups in the evacuation shelter, were very happy to receive food aid for this week. Although we only received a small amount when it was distributed to all the groups, I am very happy that the food we received will last us until next week.

Yesterday afternoon, I couldn't access the internet, so I immediately made a post. I have Starlink tonight, but it only lasts until 2:00 AM. This is because, for a week, we've had Starlink, which we received from aid, from 5:00 PM to 2:00 AM. After that, we can't access it.

I'd like to share a little more. Yesterday afternoon, we walked to the Block B evacuation center in Aceh Tamiang because the Block B evacuation center was receiving aid. This applies to all the evacuees from Blocks A, B, and C. Because Block B was receiving aid today, we were all forced to go down to queue for aid from abroad and donations.

This is how we enjoy our packed rice meals cooked by the Block B evacuees every afternoon. That night, we'll definitely be enjoying two meals: instant noodles and white rice. We always receive food aid, primarily instant noodles and rice. We also receive bottled water.

Photo: Every afternoon, I'm always anxious about the trauma I've experienced, especially when I see the dire conditions in Aceh Tamiang, where almost an entire village has been lost.My new friends and I in the evacuees group always try to relieve our anxiety and find a place to forget about it. Every afternoon, we even look for things to play with to entertain ourselves.
